Should improve. But it's still a bizarre contract.

That Rylee deal is going to make Ekblad expensive. Was hoping he could get a deal similar to Barkov ($5.9 for 6).
I like her. My problem is they keep saddling her with Button, Poulin, and today Feschuk. Yuck.
is it because she's a WOMEN HUH?!!?!?!66161

She needs better co-hosts
Nah, going from Hayes who is super knowledgeable in all sports and carries great conversation to her, it's a huge downgrade for me. I do agree with others though that her co-hosts need to be better too.

Leafs Lunch was pretty rough during it's early months/1st year too. It didn't reach a point where it was consistently listenable until maybe sometime early last year?

¯\_(ツ
_/¯I think that's why they cut the show down to 1 hour. There's less to talk about.

You guys need a Tony Marinaro for Leafs Lunch. Someone who is loud, obnoxious, Italian, and loves The Leafs. Now where can they find someone like that in Toronto?
Sounds like Andi :lol (minus the obnoxious part)
She's right.
Stamkos
Nylander
Matthews
Kadri?
It all adds up...but wait shit she didn't factor in Tavares in her scenario.
nevermind you're right man, she is smoking something weird.

Tavares can play the 5 C aka the goalie since the goal is in the middle of the ice

Still haven't been able to listen to Leafs Lunch. I really need headphones at work.
Overdrive is hilarious though, if that's what Leafs Lunch was like...those are some high expectations.

Overdrive is exactly what Leafs lunch was, but less talk about other sports.

Yup Overdrive is how Leafs Lunch used to be but just limited to leafstalk
Why does Melnyk even agree to do interviews? http://www.bonksmullet.com/2016/04/application-for-speechwriter-position.html?m=1
nobody really expects owners to do the talking. he just puts his foot in his mouth over and over.

I enjoy those guys but ugh as a basketball fan there are so few shows that care to talk about it.
Literally I have Tim & Sid and Cauz & Wheeler, nobody else gives a damn.

I'd welcome a Raptors Lunch.

What about a Torontwo Lunch?
I like how the three guys on Overdrive interact with each other but fuck does Noodles have to start watching other sports. Hey Noodles not every sports topic can be related back to hockey.

Hosted by Matt Devlin and Jack Armstrong and maybe someone else
Or Fuck it, Me and Kave will Host it
590 has some good Raptors shows, but they're all podcasts or like weekend / evening stuff.
He's hedging a good bet. I don't really think the Leafs are targeting him despite what the rumors are. His age, his slip in production and his recent injuries all go against giving this guy a 10+ million contract for 7 years. He's a good fit for a team that's ready to compete now not the Leafs. Dreger wants to show people he's a true insider and he's sticking to his guns about Stamkos not signing here.

I would take a Chance on Stamkos... But he'd be playing on the 3rd line with Eller and Brian Flynn
are you kidding me creeper? we've been searching for a #1 center for as long as I can remember... now a 25 year old, two times maurice richard winning center is available for FREE and you want to take a "chance" on him?
This is the guy we need, who cares about the money we'll deal with it later, his contract can be paid by removing Desharnais and Plekanec, both of which are disposable by now
WE NEED STAMCOCK

Yes but does he grind? Remember we are a grinding team
Don't build around the coach! tbh if we find out that Bergevin wasn't in the Stamkos race i'll find him and punch him in the dick, everyday for the rest of my life

Banned
If I was Bergevin I'd trade Plekanec to a team that needs a 2nd line Center and sign Backes
oh I want Backes too, but Stamkos is the #1 priority AINEC.

again this is a backward question, you get Stamkos and THEN you deal with the wingers. The new core would be Price, Subban and Stamkos, THEN you act fast and build around those to win right now

Better Question: What the Fuck is our 2nd Line next year? It's completely non existent

Backes is an idiot, he always loses his cool when his team is down, you don't want that on your team.
Be more like 7 years @12M per which you would have no issues paying after you dump Subban @ $9M + Eller @3.5M
I'm just saying, he hasn't been the same player production-wise since the broken leg. Whether that's due to the loss of MSL, or some other factor, I cannot say.
All this is irrelevant anyways - we all KNOW our franchise never gets in on the big boys. MB either wont even offer a contract, or his contract with be a joke of one compared to other suitors. Stamkos stays in Tampa or goes elsewhere that isn't Montreal.
